The Eagles won't have a second-round pick because of the Sam Bradford trade, so assuming they don't take a running back in the first round, they'll miss on most of the big names. Adams was a Heisman candidate early in the season and runs with tremendous power, so this could be a quality get in the third-or-fourth round, as Reuter projects him. "With Darren Sproles and LeGarrette Blount due to hit free agency, head coach Doug Pederson might want to add a bruising back like Adams to pound the rock," Reuter writes. Feb 3 - 8:58 PM

Notre Dame junior RB Josh Adams will forego his final year of eligibility to enter the 2018 NFL Draft.

Adams (6'2/225) exits South Bend having just put in his most prolific statistical season with the Irish, rushing for 1,430 yards (6.9 YPC) and nine touchdowns. He possesses a unique blend of strength and quickness, with enough speed to bust out for the long home run dash. In terms of his draft slot, Adams will likely be drafted near the end of Day 2 (Rds. 2-3) or early on Day 3 (Rds. 4-7). Jan 5 - 1:25 PM

Adams had been limited to a combined 62 yards rushing against Wake Forest and Miami over the previous two weekends. That little cold streak now snapped, the 6-foot-2, 225-pound Heisman contender is up to 1,337 rushing yards and nine touchdowns on the year. He'll look to finish out the season in high style against Stanford next Saturday. Sat, Nov 18, 2017 06:49:00 PM

Notre Dame junior RB Josh Adams is averaging 5.89 yards after contact, the highest number of any FBS running back according to Pro Football Focus.

Josh Adams is stronger than you. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound tailback has been able to run over defenders all year, outside of his struggles against Miami last week that appear to be at least in part due to injury issues. He doesn't have elite speed, but he's shown the ability to run through secondaries when he's not running over them. He's no longer a Heisman contender, but there's no denying that Adams has been one of the best tailbacks in the country in 2017. Fri, Nov 17, 2017 09:34:00 PM
